Inspiring Music: Step Through the Looking Glass

Hey there everyone!!

My friend, Tarek Bibi (a.k.a. L.S.D), is one of the talented artists in this amazing inspiring music video about a very important topic for a noble cause.

Press play and watch and/or follow along with the lyrics below.



Chorus:

take a step through the looking glass
there's something more than a strange reflection
take a step through the looking glass
and change your perception
as you step through the looking glass
take a good close look at yourself
cuz once you've stepped through the looking glass
you might discover that you're somebody else

VERSE 1

enemies is what we were born-sworn presumed-to-be
but i'm the one living in a war-torn community
while you never miss a single opportunity
to kill us indiscriminately with impunity
and i'm left to be some kind of second rate refugee
got family in the west bank & gaza living separately
something is definitely underhanded
and i can't understand it let alone stand it
living in the largest prison on the planet
helplessly watching your borders expand and
just dreaming of freedom in this never-ending struggle
while medicine is smuggled through underground tunnels
gets rougher and tougher as suffer on a regular basis
come take a look at the faces
of desperate and terrified women & children
when a military bulldozer levels a building

VERSE 2

i was born in israel, this is my country
it's my holy land you can't take that from me
you terrorize my people with your suicide bombs
throwing bombs & molotovs
we were chosen by G-d, before your islam
we survived the holocaust against all odds
we want to live in peace we want to be free
but live in constant fear cuz the enemy is near
i will not shed a tear til the terror disappears
i will join the army and fight for my country
so you cannot harm me, you can only scar me
i defend my family won't be a casualty
it's sad to see you shake hands with me
and casually pass on the peace treaty
you are needy and greedy, and we are not leaving
so excuse me for trying to stop my country from bleeding

Chorus:

take a step through the looking glass
there's something more than a strange reflection
take a step through the looking glass
and change your perception
as you step through the looking glass
take a good close look at yourself
cuz once you've stepped through the looking glass
you might discover that you're somebody else

VERSE 3

imagine a vast landscape littered with abandoned weapons
as far as the eye can see in every direction
some leftover metal and, concrete resembling
a city that no one would be left to remember when
the descendants of brothers, born of the same father
but another mother, and so wouldn't bother
to show compassion or even rational thought
because revenge and hatred is all they were taught
so they fought and got caught in a cycle of war
repeating mistakes of generations before
divided by books, ideas, and prophets
the violence got worse and they couldn't stop it
and many cried out to protect the innocent
but their voices were drowned by the sounds of the ignorant
so the story just ends the same way it begins
revealed by the voice in the whispering winds.

Chorus:

take a step through the looking glass
there's something more than a strange reflection
take a step through the looking glass
and change your perception
as you step through the looking glass
take a good close look at yourself
cuz once you've stepped through the looking glass
you might discover that you're somebody else

Let's love the world together...
